A female spear-wielder from Kanbal, Balsa, has returned to the New Yogo Empire after two years to have her spear repaired. As she crosses a bridge, she sees the second prince of Yogo, Chagum, falling into the river. Balsa dives into the river and rescues the Prince, but just as they are about to be swept away, they are surrounded by a pale blue light. Once on the shore, Balsa learns that commoners are not allowed to look into the eyes of royalty, lest they go blind. At night, Balsa is pursued by a group of armed men. When she confronts them, they are revealed to be working for the second Empress and ask her to return with them for her reward. After a night of luxury in the palace, Balsa is awoken in the middle of the night by the second Empress. She reveals that The Emperor is determined to kill Prince Chagum, believing he is possessed by an evil water spirit. Balsa reluctantly agrees to protect the boy from Imperial assassins and escapes with him, the attendants setting fire to Chagum's bedchamber as a distraction.
